Dear friends,
We're going to be posting our news letters on this site as well as emailing them. Below is the first!
Dear friends,
The big news this week is of course our match for Abby's family practice residency - We are headed to Lawrence Massachusetts for at least the next 4 years, probably 5 years. Josh hopes to go to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and work at Faith Baptist in Hollis, NH! We are excited about this, are eager to see what God has in store for us there, and are anticipating yet another transition as we move there on our return to the States.
Meanwhile, in Zambia...
... we have adjusted quickly to life in Macha. Our week and a half in the cities (Nairobi, Kenya followed by Lusaka, Zambia) helped us to transition between Kenya and Zambia. The week in Lusaka living with the Zambian family and their 12 orphans helped us understand Zambian culture, food, and lifestyle so that as we are in Macha we already have some understanding of the people we are living among.
Our living arrangements are again very nice! We have our own flat with a shared kitchen, CLEAN running water, hot shower, etc.! Abby walks about 10 minutes to the hospital down a lovely winding dirt road, Josh works mainly out of the house on computer stuff for the Malaria Research Institute - data entry, etc. Abby is focusing on pediatrics here and is learning a lot about malnutrition and malaria, among other tropical ailments!
We enjoyed Palm Sunday today - the entire church (including the large girls' boarding school in the area) paraded around the community waving palm branches, singing, and celebrating - it was really a neat experience!
Praise:
Safe travels to Macha (even through a riot in one town!)
Health (Abby has gotten over a cold very quickly)

To God's Glory,
Josh and Abby
